These examples prove how essential batteries are in every day life. We expect people to have confidence in batteries not only in terms of their daily use but also in terms of the environmental safeguards that are part of their construction. EUROBAT Member companies control every stage of a battery’s life cycle – from design and production, through their many uses and applications, to final collection and recycling to ensure the highest environmental protection standards are met. Batteries can even help to contribute to lowering CO2 emissions.

EUROBAT supports members in a number of ways including by establishing guidelines for the safe transport of batteries and occupational exposure levels for the employees of battery manufacturing plants.
